I'm similar. Introverts' brains are wired differently than others. We take in much more information than other people do, and it can be mentally exhausting. My mom happens to be the most abrasive person in the world in the way she talks, eats, and breathes. For this reason, it is physically painful for me to be around her. I know exactly how you feel, I have fantasized about just taking a break from life. I am getting better as I get older, but sometimes in a novel situation, I will be so over stimulated that I can't handle it. It's so bad because no one else seems to understand. I'm trying to train myself to cope with being overstimulated better.
Is it normal to feel everything all the time?
